The city of Bangor is perhaps most well known as the setting for many of Stephen King's stories, a reputation that has led to the nickname Transylmainia. There is more to Bangor than just tales of horror, however. There is a thriving arts scene, with museums, galleries, theaters, a symphony orchestra and a popular sidewalk art festival every summer. The area around Bangor includes the coastal Acadia National Park and the wooded Baxter State Park, providing plenty of outdoor adventure.

My husband and I just completed two of the rooms at Bangor Escape Rooms - Quest for the King’s Crown and the Game Museum. Let me preface this review by saying that we have each done 50+ In-person rooms, plus a handful of virtual rooms during the pandemic. These were the first in person rooms that we’ve done in nearly 14 months, so we were excited to shake off the cobwebs a bit. We started with the Quest room and it was very well done. Pretty immersive, a good variety of puzzles, and overall flowed well from element to element. There were some puzzles that we hadn’t seen before, which is very difficult given the number of rooms we have done. Fantastic room for first timers. That being said - it was only two of us and we got out with ~25 minutes to spare. Veterans may want to look to some of the other rooms for more of a challenge, or go in knowing that this is a solid but limited experience and just have a good time. We personally had such a good time with that room and the host, DJ, was so welcoming that we asked if we could book another room - Game Museum - on site. He did warn us that it was their hardest room, but still we wanted to at least see it even if we didn’t get out. This is a very unique room. I don’t want to spoil anything, but would highly recommend for newbies or veteran escapers alike. Certainly doable by two people, but we would have benefited from 1 or 2 additional set of hands because there’s so much to do in this one. We escaped, but only after an additional 5 minutes on the clock. In general, I think some of the elements of both games could be replaced (some props/clues with paint that had worn off, some laminated cards that might be in need of a refresh, etc.) but nothing that really detracted from the game play. In speaking with DJ, it’s clear that he and his partner just purchased the space a few months ago and are very passionate about escape rooms. I’m excited to see everything that Bangor Escape Rooms has to offer in the future, and wouldn’t hesitate to repeat the 2 hour drive to visit again.

I just had a wonderful interaction with their staff member Alan. We forgot my daughter's jacket there Saturday evening after having a fun time bowling. We called today and even though they were closed, Alan met us outside to give us her coat. Included with it was a stuffed animal for my daughter. A nice to support good businesses and good people. Thank you for the kindness.
